Abstract: A display apparatus includes a conversion unit, and an output unit. The conversion unit receives an input signal in which frame rates are respectively set for frames, individually sets received frames of the input signal as a first frame to be output with a first polarity or a second frame to be output with a second polarity opposite to the first polarity, and converts the frame rates of the first frames and the frame rates of the second frames so that the first frame period taken to output the first frames and the second frame period taken to output the second frames are equal within a predetermined time period. The output unit outputs the first frames with the first polarity to a display unit, and outputs the second frames with the second polarity to the display unit.
